Great improvement. Keep going, as Frank B often tells me. (Sometimes I listen...)

Looking great Jason. The only thing I would suggest is to decrease the amount of blue in the sky to better match the cloud color.

WOW! I have to say, that I didn't really like the first image, but this last one is really fantastic! What an improvement! This could be a matte painting for a movie.
